Brother & Sister

"Where do I begin
To tell the story
Of how grateful love can be..."song by Andy Williams

Yeah, i do listen to this kind of song, well I am 'marhaen' human being afterall. I guess oldies are much less sensual than nowadays songs but with deeper meanings which I love to listen. Yup & yes, it is about love with the big heart there ladies & gentlemen...without love we are nothing & I totally meant it.

THERE IS A BIG BIGGERBIGGEST BUT there, for whom actually? Lets continue...

I wanna ask you guys, is it because of lust or need or our Creator?

For Muslims, love is the heart of a family living under one roof, I love to use a metaphor describing what love should be. You know, take an examplelove as a house. To build your dream house you must imagined things you want to build; how the bedroom should be, how big the bathroom you want and so on. I prefer to metaphor lust as the toilet. Do you start building a house based on a toilet or steady & strong foundation? If you choose toilet it will not last long but if u start with a foundation you know what will happen. Yup this foundation will determine your love life for years to come. If your love is for the Creator & not just for lust you will get what you dream & I think it should be all of us dream which is Jannah. Lets make sure the toilet the last thing we hope for shall we?

It is not simple to avoidLUSTbecause it is our need. Even some people use an unforgiven excuse to not avoiding lust as they will say sins will be forgiven as long we admit our sins afterwards. Well noobs...death is upon us REMEMBER REMEMBER...

"Say (O Muhammad SAW): "(But) the things that my Lord has indeed forbidden are Al-Fawahish (great
evil sins, every kind of unlawful sexual intercourse, etc.) whether
committed openly or secretly, sins (of all kinds), unrighteous
oppression, joining partners (in worship) with Allah for which He has
given no authority, and saying things about Allah of which you have no
knowledge.And every nation has its
appointed term; when their term is reached, neither can they delay it
nor can they advance it an hour (or a moment).

(Quran 7:33-34)

Indeed it is hard to avoid but there are guidelines which has been proposed by Rasulullah SAW. The most important thing is how we interact or mingle with different sexes (ikhtilat). Maintain your 'aurat', modest interaction & only interact when it is necessary. Even our environmentaffecting our judgement or stand in what we believe, that is why we need good Muslims around us to help us. LOVE IS A FIRST STEP OF CREATING UMMAHwhich comply to the reason of human creation; as caliph on Earth (QS 1:30) & to worship ALLAH (51:56). We need each other to get the true love story we always wanted & it is not impossible if we know what our OSEM foundation is & where our last station is.

"The believers, men and women, are Auliya' (helpers, supporters, friends, protectors) of one another, they enjoin (on the people) Al-Ma'ruf (i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam orders one to do), and forbid (people) from Al-Munkar (i.e. polytheism and disbelief of all kinds, and all that Islam has forbidden); they perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat) and give the Zakat, and obey Allah and His Messenger. Allah will have His Mercy on them. Surely Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise" (QS 9:71)LOVE & REMEMBER ALLAH, YOUR PARTNER WILL REMEMBER YOU & HELP YOU TO JANNAH
